Love

sad teddy peers out of his plastic eyes 
to be one with the world you are without 
i see you unravel at the seams, my love 
my darling bear, you know i love 
and i have seen it like you 
that the world simply is not what it is 
but rather it is not what it is not 
yes, teddy 
life is like a long hallway where 
familiar sounds once rang 
once there briefly 
to be gone lost where 
to cherish them while they are there 
teddy 
noisy in the hallways of your mind 
where plastic eyes become 
that of a child's 
memories that vibrate so dear and vivid yet 
so far way 
like my homeland, my family, my time 
hug teddy love good bye
